Do foods taste the same to animals as they do to us?Animals see and smell the world differently than we do, and research shows that even the foods we eat taste different across different palates. While vertebrates all have tongues, the number of taste buds differs by species. And just as the strength of our sense of smell depends on the number of olfactory receptors, a species' taste sensitivity depends on how many taste buds it has. Birds generally have very few taste buds. But herbivores like cows and pigs have even humans beat. "Herbivores have so many taste buds because they need to be able to tell if a specific plant contains dangerous toxins," according to Dr. But the real winner when it comes to taste sensitivity is the catfish. An advanced sense of taste is critical for catfish because they hunt in murky waters where visibility is low. Evolution of taste But taste isn't just a numbers game. In evolutionary terms, animals have used taste to determine if food is safe to eat. But not all animals have this wide of a taste spectrum.

41 Delicious Facts About Chocolate That You Probably Didn't KnowPostcards From The Future Show What London Will Look Like After Climate ChangeWhat will the world's biggest cities look like as climate change progresses? In a series called Postcards from the Future, U.K. artists Robert Graves and Didier Madoc-Jones imagined future scenes from London, transforming familiar city views according to different scientific projections. "We were hearing a lot about the potential impacts of climate change, but everything we were hearing about was just words, or very two-dimensional graphics in magazines," says Madoc-Jones. "The only imagery we were getting was pictures or reports from places like Bangladesh…the trouble is that when you live in London, when you hear reports of people suffering in other parts of the world, you can easily forget about those things and put them to one side."
